Dissatisfied when someone false advertises
Pros:

Left too early to participate in the breakfast

Cons:

We stayed here because there was airport shuttle offered. I even put in a request in advance online when I booked the room. When we arrived we were told that the shuttle was full at that time for “crew” members. We scrambled to find a ride to the airport. The service that picked us up said the same thing happened to someone else the week before. Do not offer a service that you do not have.

Our 65 years + old daughter had a lot of fun in the pool.
Pros:

Easy in and out, venue clean and welcoming, quiet, nice swimming pool. The room is nice, refrigerator and small kitchen are useful. Agents on site ate discreet and effective.

Thumbs up
Pros:

This was our first stay at Mainstay Suites in S Dakota. Location was very convenient to visit family, and far enough from the highway to keep road noise out. We would stay again.

Ok, but could be better.
Pros:

Room was cozy and quiet. Breakfast was lacking. Needed better protein sources and less ultra processed food. Need one ice machine to supplement the in-room ice makers. Some of them are too slow to provide ice, especially since they are off until you turn them on. At one time I stayed in this hotel for about $50/night. It was over $200/night now and the value isn't there for me anymore.
